Adventures in baby-birthing…

Hey all! Just wanted to give you a quick update on everything.

Our little Duchess was born July 24th at 5:46am! She was 6 pounds, 12 ounces, and 20 inches long. A big thank you to everyone that wished and prayed for a quick delivery because it was super quick! I was given a medicine that was just meant to thin out my cervix a bit and it ended up kicking me into active labor. Within a 3 hour time span, I went from 2cm dilated to 10! No time for pain meds or anything! 4 pushes later, I had my baby girl in my arms. An induction that was supposed to take about 24 hours “til baby” took only 7 hours start to finish. This is my crazy life, ladies and gentlemen. Anyway, baby and I are doing great. I was actually ready to be discharged yesterday, but she needed to get a few more tests done, so we stayed another day in our “hotel suite” of a hospital room. I’ll get some more pictures up this week of her, and even a few of her and Big Brother Sonny Boy (who’s already doing great with his new role). In the meantime, there will be posts all week here on 4 hats, so stay tuned!
